Case Study: Patch achieves 25,000 customers and rapid 30% monthly growth with Saleor Commerce

Saleor In Action An Interview with Patch

Patch is a disruptive online plant retailer that helps city dwellers build “urban jungles.” Faced with the unique e‑commerce challenges of selling perishable, highly variable plants and scaling logistics while retaining engineering talent, Patch launched a Saleor Commerce‑powered storefront to create a flexible, modern online shop and support growth.

Saleor Commerce delivered a GraphQL API‑driven, developer‑friendly platform that Patch runs with containerized services on AWS and integrations (including AWS Lambda with Python and Go). After adopting Saleor Commerce in early 2017, Patch achieved sustained 30% month‑over‑month sales growth, acquired about 25,000 customers within two years, grew a 70K Instagram following, and raised seed (Aug 2017) and Series A (May 2018) funding — all while using Saleor Commerce to iterate quickly and retain developers.
